[ kyle starts because he hadn't expected that, not so early on. but it was . . . nice. he had forgotten how nice it was when batman said that. you're the justice league's green lantern. we trust you with our lives.

he swallows it down for a moment. now's not the time to lose his head. ]

I'll bring him back.

( just with this. for now. kyle hasn't given him any reason to doubt him as of yet and he'd made a rather interesting first impression on bruce the last time they'd spoke. there's also his wanting to keep himself out of whatever happens between him and jason, and bruce can respect that. )

I know.

( at that, he looks back over to kyle. )

Don't lose focus. You're not much good to him or the others if you do.

[torchbearer]

I won't.

[ it's not cocky or self-assured. it just . . . is. immutable. if bruce looks closely, he may even spot the flicker of star light. ]

( he does notice it, even if he doesn't comment on it, but. that's just bruce for you.

turning, he gives a glance down over the ledge of the rooftop. )

You better get going. Don't want to be late.

( a fear he knows kyle struggles with, as confessed to him, and while bruce moves to disappear into the shadows [because that's what he does], he stops. looks over his shoulder some. )

I meant what I said. If it gets too much for you, I'll come get you.

( or stop you, if it comes to that. )

[ kyle nods. he hears both meanings. ]

Okay.

[batsymbol]

( he doesn't offer kyle a good luck or anything because he's putting his faith in him to not need it, so. with all that said and done, he jumps off the side of the rooftop. and disappears into the shadows. as expected. )
